Hiya,

I'd like to be able to send (and maybe receive?) SMS messages to my home
PC...

What I want is something I could already acheive with:

- Laptop
- PCMCIA modem with GSM kit
- Mobile Phone handset

What I want is a single PCI card, so I can use a desktop PC.

In an ideal world, this PC card would have a SIM socket on-board and act as
the handset.
Failing that, it would act as a modem, but with a GSM connector for, say, a
Nokia 2110 handset (ie cheap, nasty, can be stuck in behind the PC.)

I could then get a cheapo SIM-only deal on a mobile phone contract, and lo,
a PC which I could send messages to FOC with the various email->SMS
services out there...

M.
